Hallgrimskirkja i Reykjavik

in #iceland6 years ago

Hallgrimskirkja er den største kyrkja i Island. Den ligg på eit høgdedrag like søraust for sentrum av Reykjavik. Det store tårnet er 74,5 meter høgt.
Kyrkja har fått namn etter Hallgrímur Pétursson, ein islandsk salmediktar og poet.
Kyrkja stod ferdig i 1986 etter 38 års byggjetid.
På statuen framfor kyrkja står Leiv Eriksson, mannen som oppdaga Amerika. Denne statuen er ei gåve frå USA i 1930 til 1000-årsjubileet for Alltinget.
Inne i kyrkja står det eit imponerande orgel, og då me var der fekk me høyra lyden frå det fantastiske orgelet.

Hallgrimskirkja is the largest church in Iceland. It is on a hillside just southeast of the centre of Reykjavik. The great tower is 74.5 meters high.
Church has been named after Hallgrímur Pétursson, an Icelandic hymn poet.
The church was completed in 1986 after 38 years of construction.
On the statue in front of the church stands Leiv Eriksson, the man who is discovering America. This statue is a gift from the United States in 1930 to the 1000th anniversary of "Everything".
Inside the church, there is an impressive organ, and when I was there, we heard the sound of the fabulous organ.

A very interesting architectural landmark, @Siggjo
I was impressed by the huge organ.
The photos are great.
Many thanks my friend!
And I went to the Caucasus, so I did not write :-)

Looks like a building from Lego! Very nice!
